Grindelwald from the Ridge Trail


Grindelwald is a ski/sports town in the Swiss Alps. It is barely visible in the center of the screen. Taking photos in the mountains is always a little frustrating. You can see these grand vistas spread out before you but when you take a photo the mountains shrink and the distances increase and the whole impression of the mountains seems to condense into a travel photo. We hiked about 5 miles along this ridgeline trail high up in the mountains. It seemed like we were much higher than we actually were because of the snow and glaciers on the higher mountains. We were only at about 6000 feet or so while hiking and that would put us only slightly higher than where we live in Provo, Utah. Obviously, we did not feel any effects of the altitude.
